How To Make spicy sweet glazed bacon

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Place bacon in single layer on baking sheet and bake until it is crispy - about 20-30 minutes. Depending on thickness of bacon, it might take a little longer.
Step 3

Meanwhile, as bacon cooks, mix together jelly and vinegar. Set aside.
Step 4

Remove from oven and place crisply cooked bacon on a cooling rack over another piece of foil and brush with jelly/vinegar mixture.
Step 5

Sprinkle with some raw sugar and/or a grind of black pepper to serve.
